Bluegill
Pumpkinseed
Longear
Redbreast
Orangespot
Would it work out to put one of each in there? I know bluegill and redbreast get quite big, but the other 3 really don't. I'll also be getting them at a small size, so I don't think I'll have to worry about max length, just aquarium max length. Although it may be possible to have a bluegill hit 12+ inches in a tank, I somehow doubt it happening, especially if they're on a prepared food. So along with size, is there any one there that's too aggressive to be kept with the rest of them? And I know bluegill are pretty plain, but in my opinion, you need a dull fish to off set the rest of them.
Sound like a good plan? Thoughts? Opinions?

So at the last second, I decided to turn my 55 into a sunfish tank instead of a stream tank. I have 5 sunfish in mind for this tank:
Bluegill
Pumpkinseed
Longear
Redbreast
Orangespot
